I want to have a fresh, fresh, FRESH install of iOS on my iPhone 6. The only things I care about are the regular things that are saved with iCloud (contacts, reminds, calendar) and my photos. All of the games I play have games saves in the cloud except Candy Crush.

If I want to have a fresh copy, should I delete every item from my iPhone EXCEPT my photos and Candy Crush, and then backup to iCloud? I would imagine it would be like a 1GB backup. Then reset my iPhone and restore from backup? All the other apps I own I would like to manually download one by one.
 
the only way I know of to save progress in Candy Crush is link it to facebook. I've done that and moved between devices with no loss in progress.

Wow I had no idea. If that is the case I can do a complete reset except for my photos.
 
You can use iTools to back up any individual app you want. For example, everytime I want to refresh my ipad, I use iTools to back up Kingdom Rush game as an .ipa file to my PC. When I finish setting up, I just use iTools again to load the game back into the ipad.
